Empagliflozin Protects against Haloperidol Experimentally-Induced Ovarian Toxicity.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The present experiment aimed to identify the potential protective role of empagliflozin (EMPA) on haloperidol (HAL)-induced ovarian damage in female rats because of its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiapoptotic effects. EMPA was administered in the presence and absence of HAL. Thirty-two adult female albino rats were divided into four groups. Control group, EMPA group: received EMPA (10 mg/kg/day) p.o., HAL group: received HAL (2 mg/kg/day) p.o., HAL + EMPA group: HAL (2 mg/kg/day) combined with EMPA for 28 days. Serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) levels were measured. Ovarian oxidative stress parameters, besides inflammatory and apoptotic biomarkers, and ovarian Sirtuin-1 (Sirt-1) were evaluated. Ovarian histopathological examination and heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) immunohistochemical study were performed. HAL significantly increased serum levels of FSH, LH, and ovarian inflammatory, apoptotic, and oxidative stress biomarkers and decreased serum AMH levels and Sirt-1 expression. Histopathological findings of ovarian damage and high Hsp70 immunoexpression were detected. EMPA significantly normalized the distributed hormonal levels, oxidative stress, inflammatory, and apoptotic biomarkers with a prompt improvement in the histopathological picture and a decrease in Hsp70 immunoexpression. Accordingly, EMPA protected against HAL-induced ovarian toxicity by modulating the Sirt-1/Hsp70/TNF-α/caspase-3 signaling pathway.
